Airey Neave,
By
This review is from: Public Servant, Secret Agent: The Enigmatic Life and Violent Death of Airey Neave (Hardcover)
I became interested in Airey Neave through his books on World War II POW escapes. Neave escaped from Colditz which he wrote about in "They Have Their Exits". He was then recruited by the secret services to manage escape organizations / routes in occupied territories, which is in his book "Saturday at M.I.9". After the war Neave coordinated part of the Nuremburg Nazi war criminal trials (his book "Nuremburg").
Paul Routledge has written an interesting biography of Airey Neave, from his early life in college, WWII experiences, and then his political life. Neave was key in the rise to power of Margaret Thatcher. As a reward he took over the post of managing the Irish troubles. Neave favored putting down the IRA ruthlessly, and was assassinated in a car bombing before he could try it. |
